Frequently Asked Questions
Who can come to School of the Word?
School of the Word is open to everyone!
One of the best things about School of the Word is that you will share and connect with people from all different age groups and cultural backgrounds. Our whole group is enriched by the diversity of life experiences, and that's why we'd love to include you!
Please note, due to current Child Protection and Safeguarding regulations, if you are under 18 you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Do I have to know a lot about the Bible and Catholicism?
No! One of the reasons why we call it 'School of the Word' is that everyone is learning. It's normal for people to start not knowing anything about the Bible. However with time, one of our goals is to learn to listen to God's voice through His word.
No matter where you are in your faith journey, you will fit right in!
